- Cash compensation (cash-and-keep settlement)
- Attorney's fees paid by the manufacturer
Dodge Journey Lemon Law FAQ
My Dodge Journey has been in the shop six times for the same transmission problem. Do I have a Lemon Law case?
Very likely. Under the Song-Beverly Act, four or more repair attempts for the same defect during the warranty period creates a presumption that your vehicle is a lemon. Six unsuccessful attempts strongly support your claim, and you should consult a California Lemon Law attorney to begin the refund or replacement process.
Can I file a Lemon Law claim for my Dodge Journey if the defect is annoying but not dangerous?
Yes. The Song-Beverly Act does not require that the defect be a safety hazard. A defect that substantially impairs the vehicle's value or use, such as a persistent transmission issue or repeated electrical failures, qualifies even if it does not endanger your safety. The standard is whether a reasonable person would be dissatisfied.
Does the Song-Beverly Act cover electrical problems in my Dodge Journey?
Yes. Electrical issues such as failing window regulators, inoperative infotainment systems, and malfunctioning sensors are covered under the Song-Beverly Act if they arose during the warranty period. Repeated electrical failures that impair the vehicle's use or value qualify as substantial defects for a Lemon Law claim.
What if my Dodge Journey's problems started just before the warranty expired?
As long as the defect first manifested during the warranty period, your Lemon Law rights are preserved even if subsequent repair attempts occur after the warranty expires. Under the Song-Beverly Act, the manufacturer must continue attempting repairs for defects that were initially reported within the warranty coverage period.
